I watched Death Note a week ago and really loved it. Seen it completely in 3 days Maybe I liked it because it was something different then what I usually watch, like One Piece, Bleach, Naruto, Prince of Tennis, FMA etc. So does anyone know other good series in the genre like DeathNote?

The automatic recommendation for anime like Death Note, is Code Geass. The protagonist is very comparable to Light. I think Code Geass's protagonist is even more bad ass than Light.Spiral: Suiri no Kizuna - The protagonist is also intelligent and is sought of a detective. He's not evil or even an anti hero like Light and the guy from Code Geass though.

about Code Geass.... I second it, as long as you can get past the girly character designs... it took me a while to warm up to the show because I couldnt stand looking at some of the designs the first time around

Code Geass character design was by CLAMP, and the characters are fairly normal for their style. See other CLAMP series (Magic Knight Rayearth, X, Card Captor Sakura, Tsubasa Chronicles, xxxHolic etc) if you like their style.

As for series like Death Note, none really come to mind, as DN was rather unique. Monster may be marginally comparable. Speed Grapher, too, for the darker gothic type setting.

I wouldn't say Ghost in the Shell is similar at all, but it's still good all the same.

@^: the manga is pretty dark, probably less of a mess though since you can take your time and process the information
Keep in mind the Mirai Nikki OVA that will be airing soon-ish, an extra vote for Code GEASS, and...hmm, Higurashi maybe?
